MACHINE FoR COATING PAPER-WITH SAND, EMERY, 80o.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 366,037, dated July 5, 1887. Application filed February 17, N87. Serial No. 228,001. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, H NRY SLUssnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at York, in the county of York and State of Pennsylvania,

5 have invented a new and useful Improvement in Machines for Coating Paper with Sand, Emery, &c., of which the following is a specification. 7

My invention relates to an improved mal chine forcoating paper or cloth inlong lengths, first with glue, and then with sand, emery, or other abrasive material in such a manner that the paper or cloth will be evenly coated with glue and the abrasive material evenly distrib-. I uted on the said coated paper or cloth.

The invention will be first described in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures, and then specifically pointed out in the claims.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improve ment. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is a section on line yy of Fig. 1; and Fig. at is a detail View.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a frame mounted on feet, and having arranged in its forward end the gluetrongh B, which is provided with the jacket a, forming a space or receptacle, 1), under the trough for containing hot water to keep the glue warm. The gluetrough is provided with the discharge-tube c, and the water-receptacle with the filling-opening (1 and the discharge-tubese.

O is a roller, covered with plush, felt, or

3 5 other absorbent material, j ournaled in the sides of the frame and projecting into the glue-trough B. The ends of the roller 0 are provided with the grooved pulleys Dand the crank-handle E. The rear end of the frame A 0 is provided with the slatted top, and onthe said frame over thisslatted top is mounted the frame A, consisting of the side pieces, 1, and the top 9. The top 9 is arranged some distance above the slatted top of the frame A to form a space between the two, for apurpose hereinafter described,

- In the forward part of the frame A isjournaled the brush F, for removing the surplus glue from the paper, and said brush is provided with a handle, 71, at one end for operating it.

To uprights i, projecting from the sidesf of the frame A, is pivoted the hopper G, for containing sand, emery, or other abrasive material. The hopper G is provided with theslide It, for regulating the quantity of abrasive material passing from it into thepapcr, the said slide being operated by the lever 10.

In order to agitate the hopperG to prevent the abrasive material from clogging and cause it'to flow regularly, I mount the shaft Hin the frame A, and provide the projecting ends with projections Z, and the hopper Gwith the downwardly-projecting arms 1, which arms rest upon the said ends of the shaft, so that as the 6 shaft is revolved the hopper will be agitated. Instead of the projection Z shown on the ends of the said shaft, they may be provided with any other-shaped projections. The shaft H is provided at each end with a grooved pulley, 0 m, around which the belt a, from the pulleys D, passes.

.To the forward part of the frame A is hinged the frame I, in the free end of which is journaled the roller K. The journals of the roll- 7 5 er's K project through the frame and carry on their ends the pulleys I, which rest upon the plain portions of the pulleys D of the roller 0, so that as the said roller is revolved the roller K will be revolved by the frictional contact of said pulleys, the weightof the frame I being sufficient for this purpose.

For grinding the paper as it passes between the two rollers O K, over the roller K, and under brush F, I secure to a crossbar of the 8 frame I the semicircular guides J, which can be made of any suitable material.

The operation is asfollows: The paperor cloth wound on a roller, L, journaled in supports projecting from theframeA, orin any other suitao ble support, passes between the slatted top of the frame A and the topg of the frame A, between the rollers O K, where it is coated with glue, thence up over the roller K under the brush F, which removes the surplus glue, 5 thence under the hopper Gr, which distributes the abrasive material evenly on the coated paper or cloth, and then over the top gto the roller an, upon which it is wound.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

1. In a machine for coating paper or cloth with sand, emery, or other abrasive material, the combination, with a supporting-frame, a trough, and a roller journaled in the said trough, ofa hinged frame and a roller journaled in the free end of. the hinged frame and resting upon the rollerin thetrough, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. In a machine for coating paper or cloth with sand, emery, or other abrasive material, the combination, with a supporting-frame, a trough, a roller journaled therein, and means for revolving said roller, of 'a hinged frame, a roller journaled in the free end of the hinged frame, and means for revolving the said roller from the roller in the trough, substantially as herein shown and described.

3. In a machine for coating paper orcloth with abrasive material, the combination, with a supporting frame and a roller journaled therein and provided with pulleys at its ends, of a hinged frame and a roller journaled in said hinged frame'and provided with pulleys at its ends engaging the pulleys of the first-named ends engaging pulleys of the first-named rollers, and guides carried by said hinged frame,

substantially as herein shown and described.

5. In a machine for coating paper or cloth with abrasive material, the combination, with a supporting-frame, a glue-trough and a roller journaled'therein, of a shaft provided with projections on its ends, a hopper provided with downwardly-projecting arms resting on the said shaft, and means for revolving the said shaft from the roller, substantially as herein shown and described. 6. In a machine for coating paper or cloth with abrasive material, the combination, with a supporting-frame, a glue-trough, and a roller journaled' therein, of a hinged'frame, a roller jonrnaled therein, semicircular guides secured to said frame in front of the roller, and means for operating the said rollers, substantially as herein shown and described.

7 In-a machine for coating paper or cloth with abrasive material, the combination,with a supporting frame, of a glue-trough, a waterreceptacle below the said trough, a roller journaled in the trough, a pressure-roller, a.

brush for removing surplus glue, and a hop; per for distributing the abrasive material, substantially as herein shown and described.
